PASSENGER DEpors.

i Yesterday was busy day among ths
gentlemen working to secure the Rock Is
land passenger depot on East Douglas ave
nue.. The money was due and the collection
work together with gaining more subscrip
lions were at q white heat. The amount
necessary, S35, 900, was all subscribed and
the papers signed last evening. The com
pany gave 1000 which makes the purchase
SIS. eco.
The company has agreed to build a depot
costing not less than $4,000 The president
stated that he expected more than that
amount would be put in the building, but
the pap4rs call for $4,000 Work will com
mence on the building in short time.
| A gentleman familiar with railroad mat
tiers stated yesterday that the result of the
location of the Rock Island depot was obvi-
Gus. That company decided at that point
and also deciding to erect handsome depot
made it necessary for the little Santa Fe
| Company to make their initial accommodat-
ing bow to the city Of Wichita. This little
nod of theirs he thought would come in ~ a
respectable passenger depot He claimed to
have gained his ideas Oh the question from a
conversation and business meeting of the
presidents of the two companies. Mr.. Smith
of the Santa Fe, begged Mr.. Low to come at
the Wichita people with a depot consisting
of a platform with shed over it.
If he would consent to such
lay out the Santa Fe would agree to improve
their depot to that extent and both compa
MES would use the same platform with
roof over it."
Mr.. Smith was also OF the opinion that the
city would be properly served by using farm
land for depot and thus stay out of the
city. His ideas of business did not exactly
conform with those of Mr.. Low and his
cheap John theory was gently told to pass
on.
The gentleman interviewed on the sabject
stated that Mr.. Smith had in days gone by
said that il the Rock Island Company should
decide to give the city a respectable depot
their company would follow suit, but it was
thought it would be a forcibly forced march
and slightly disturb the quietude of the
scales. Their attempt to get some more land
given to them some months ago on East
Douglas avenue is thought to have origina-
ted with the idea that probably they would
be forced to put up decent depot some
time
